Freemasons Seek Privacy for Public Servants, Who Knew?
RT reports that Freemasons are seeking a court injunction against London police over a policy requiring officers to disclose membership. Apparently, transparency is a virtue only applied to those outside the mysterious handshake clubs. One wonders what 'fraternal' benefits could possibly influence policing decisions, warrant such secrecy, or require legal action against basic oversight. This, of
course, isn't about protecting privacy; it's about preserving a veil that critics argue has historically shielded nepotism and undue influence in public service. When those enforcing the law choose to operate in the shadows, it shouldn't shock anyone that the public might then question whose interests are truly being served.
